Omission of 的

"的 must be omitted when it refers to a close relationship (family, close friends) or to an institutional or organizational relationship (school, work)."

I'd say it's not always a must. Consider three examples: "這是我媽媽", "我媽媽來了", "我媽媽來接我了". It's acceptable to say "這是我的媽媽", but "我的媽媽來了" sounds weird, "我的媽媽來接我了" sounds even worse. Mteechan (talk) 15:09, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

@Mteechan Agree. I've changed it to say "的 is usually omitted". — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 21:39, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

Sichuanese ne1/di1

@Prisencolin, where exactly did you find ne1 and di1 from? — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 06:38, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

Pinyin needed

The last point in https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E7%9A%84#Usage_notes needs pinyin for the terms 白勺的, 雙人得, 土也地. --Backinstadiums (talk) 13:54, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

Min Nan ê and --ê

There should be a explanation about the difference between the two. You know, ê follows noun (phrase) like i ê miâ(伊 ê 名）, while --ê follows verb (phrase) or adjectival (phrase) like 賣菜的(bē-tshài--ê) and 董的(táng--ê)(當董事長的).--Yoshiciv (talk) 00:53, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

Why "mark in a target" as secondary?

Why does it say that "The sense of “mark in a target” may be secondary"? I find it perfectly natural that it would be the original meaning. A bright target put/painted on something used as a metaphor to mean things related to the targeted thing is perfect natural. Then this adjective sense expands to the possessive sense as juxtaposition in Chinese can have both an adjective and a possessive sense. See more at diff.
